Bath resealing in Rhigos

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

About our bath resealing in Rhigos

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we are called out for in Rhigos

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from Rhigos

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
